If you never declare war why do you call it a war?
Very good question! War is defined as a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism, as well as a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between two states or nations. Technically, for the United States at least, a war is not considered a war unless it has been declared by congress. Hence, why we refer to the war in Vietnam as the "Vietnam Conflict". But regardless of congress officially declaring so or not, war is war.
When did Uruguay join WW1?
Never, Uruguay remained neutral during the whole conflict.
What was an argument made against the military draft during the Vietnam War?
It had an unfair impact on poorer citizens.
What year did the US declare neutrality during world war 2?
The United States never officially declared themselves neutral during the Second World War. Instead, they looked back the World War One to see what dragged them into that conflict. It was determined that trading with the warring nations at the time was what brought them into the war. To make sure that American soldiers were never again dragged into a European conflict they passed a series of laws known as the Neutrality Acts. The first Neutrality Act, stating that the United States could not trade arms and other war materials to any party participating in a war, was passed in 1935. So, in essence, this would be the first year the United States declared their neutrality. The United States passed more Neutrality Acts in 1936, 1937, and 1939. So, you could debate that the US declared their neutrality four times prior to their entering of the Second World War.
Vietnam put American in a that was never officialy declared?
The American Civil War (US Civil War) was not a declared war.
Did the US enter Vietnam without a declaration of war by Congress?
No, it is officially termed the "Vietnam Conflict." Answer The US president went to war using his "constitutional discretion" calling ti a "police action". Correct, Only Congress can draw up the Article of War. In the Archives of the DOD Vietnam is listed as "an armed conflict" Since Congress never drew up such article of war Vietnam was only by Definition an conflict. Only congress has this power as a means of checks and balances. Yes the President can do such action as mobilize military into an area of conflict but for "WAR" to be declared Congress is the only one who can draw up such an article.
Should the US government be allowed to draft Americans to a foreign conflict involving Vietnam that was never declared a war by congress?
Certainly. The US Civil War (War of the Rebellion) 1861-1865 was not a declared war by congress, and THAT WAS THE US FIRST MILITARY DRAFT! What makes Vietnam any different from that?

Did bush declare war after September 11?
Technically, the "war on terrorism" is not a war. Bush never declared a war and he never got the approval of congress to go into Iraq.
Was Vietnam a war or was it a conflict?
What, precisely, is the difference? "Conflict" sounds more civilized and polite, which the Vietnam ... whatever ... definitely was not. However, while the US Congress authorized the engagement of the military in the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, they never formally "declared war". So there is some justification in using a word other than "war" for it, though in practice there's little real difference.
Why is it technically wrong to call the Vietnam war a war?
Because Congress never declared war. The United States, as usual, was part of a "Joint United Nations Police Action". That meant we paid for it, did most of it, and lost the most citizens in the conflict (other than the north and south Vietnamese).
